The problem with this, and we see this in the US already with medical providers, is that even if they are 'native' speakers in their own country, they miss a lot of important nuance and conversational skills to work with US native patients. And that's before you even consider the cultural stuff that they just don't have a frame of reference to understand. Someone from a country where women don't have rights, or where normal things like divorce or abortion are illegal, isn't going to be able to offer useful therapy to someone from the US.
